Default Converter stall and brake stall?

I was just curious as to know why people dont stall up a converter to its stall speed while launching at the track? Do the times hurt when you rev it up to maximum stall? For instance, 4000+ users are launching in the low to mid 2000s. Am I missing something here. You would think that you would get the best results stalling it up as much as you could so that it leaves the line harder. I myself dont have any personal experience, but I just wanted to know. Thank you.

So you would base this on the cam's stated power band, ie: 1600-6600rpm, you would stall to around 1600 (for a 3000 stall).

How do you take off at 1600rpm if its a 3000rpm stall? Just curiosu because i'm seriously thinking about buying a tci ssf 3500 and i'm wondering how the whole stall thing works?

Im talking brake stalling at the track with slicks on. Street tyres would never hook with that kind of launch.

If I depress the brake as far as it will go, the car will stall to about 1800 before it wants to spin the tires, I want to try flashing the stall off the line next time I go out.
